Abstract

The «auto sacramental», the Narcissu’s myth and its projecting both in the christian’s typification and in the vision of spanish Baroque’s theologie and rhetoric, those are the matters proposed in this paper on sor Juana’s sacred play, the «Divino Narciso». We analyse here the subject matter’s prospect in the «Divino Narciso’s «Loa», the desing and the purposes of the author, the characters, the manner of linguistic expression had been organised. We suggest that the «Loa» propose toi the audience the unity of God and gods, the unity of every men, and a new wholeness humanity exalting the Cropus Christi as a total unity sing, for the meeting between America, Europe and Spain has created it. This religous and human occurrence reveal the aerly and original «Criollismo» existence’s as a «protocriollismo».
